Blililllllfllillllllllllillllll He Objects to the illtary Manage- ment of the War apartment in WashingtOI‘w-No Injury from Aboiolhment of Canteen. WASHINGTON, October its-«Lieu— tenant General" Miieii. in his annual re- port gives the total strength of the army at the present time at 84. 513. of which number 33. 874 are in the United States; 43. 239 in the Philippines. 4. 914 in Cuba. the remainder in small de- tachments being in Porto Rico, Hawaii China and Alaska. The report says it is expected the force in Cuba will be very much reduced and the Philippines force also can be reduced. General Miles does not approve in the present organisation of the Artillery Corps. saying that it establishes an— other bureau in Washington. He be- livea in the former regimental organi- sation. Speaking of the. army canteen. which is abolished by the army reor- ganization law. he says that no injury has resulted and in the main the law has been beneficial. General Miles states his objections to the management of military affairs in the War Department invthe following language: While Congress has made ample pro- vision for the management of military affairs in the organization of the army, whereby the companies. regiments, bri- gades. divisions and departments are made the units of administration. and by statute has clothedthe officials not only with executive authority, but with judicial powars and responsibility, yet the tendency has been to absorb and usurp the entire conduct of the military establishment in the city of Washing- ton and especially in the staff depart- ments. This has been found most in- .lurlous in other armies. and is one of he printcipnl defects in our system. The evil has been increasing during the ac- tivities of the wars of the last three years to an extent. that in my judg- ment. requires serious consideration. and i recommend that decentralization be effected as for as possible. and that all proper and lawful authority be re- storcd to subordinate commanders. who are provided with an efficient or- ganization and who can be safely in— trustcd with responsibility for the sill- clcut and faithful administration of military affairs commensurate with their important commands. As a large portion of the army is stationed in no western part of the United States and over one half west of l‘nIlfh- Ocean. General Miles recom- mends the establishment of a military school in southern California; he also recommends the establishment of a war college in the city of Washington. General Miles refers to a number of recommendations first he made in for- mer reports looking to tho improve- ment of the army: also to orders he has issued during the your to accom. plish this purpose. He speaks especiall— ly of the. experience. intelligence and efficiency of tilt. troops of the United States and the success they have had in China 'nud the Philippines. and says they have borne the rIgOrs of the Aron tic climate in Alaska. and thehent of the tropics and under all circumstances. maintained the high character of the. American army. He recommends that the: military posts throughout the country be put in excellent shape for troops that are returned from scrvkc beyond sea. , ....____._ Fl IPINOS ALWAYS TREACHER. OUS. Cs lain O’Connor; of Forty.sixth Vol. un ei- lnfantry, tell. his Experiences. ew York, October 28~Captnlrr S. 'Connor. a former captain of the Ninth Regiment of the New YOIk Na tioIIal Guard who has just returned lot In the Philippines where he did scr lice as a captain in tho Forty sixth Volnniccr infantry, sold in an inter view of the massacre of the Ninth llIIl- led States infantry on the island of Samar: The American people can form no idea of tho treachery of the natives. They have been likened to tho Arum-- lcnn Indian. but the comparison does not do justice to their capacity for be- lrnynl, Such a body of fighters as the Ninth infantry are never and could ne- yer be caught in such a trap by the lndians. The lndiuns have never learn ed toplay the friend like the Filipino. A soldier on the western plains would be on his guard always against the rod. skins, but they canot dIsscmble. They may ambush you and rush you at night, but they do'nt know how to play the ‘amlgo' trick as did the Filipinos. “That the Filipino is a‘ master at treachery, l soon learned after getting into the field over there. Consequent- ly i decided to be as severe as possi- ble. l was provost marshall in the towns and apparently was duly harsh. but i found that was the only to meet the natives. As an illustration 1 will say that in one of the towns south of Manila. there was a barber named L01 enao Mabeno. who did a flourishing business the soldiers patronising his place generously. He appeared to be thoroughly loyal. i don’t suppose there was any one in the town we sus- pcciod less than be. He spoke Span- ish and told us how much good the American rule would do the. people. One night a raid was made upon a but bad of the insurgents. Among the .prisohers taken with a rifle in his bands was our barber Then it came out that after working in his shop all day he would go to the rebel camp at night and disclose whatever informa tion he had gleaned from his soldier customers during the day."
